Nothing In IL.

Some of the state newspapers and a Jer-
sey correspondent of the New \ York Tribune
have brought up anew the question as to
eligibility of member of the Board OF
Chosen Freeholders of any county TO a seat
in the New Jersey legislature. While a
postmaster or other national official hold
ing an office of emolument is not eligible,
or sheriff, surrogate, justice of the peace,
or any official commissioned by the state,
the freeholder of a county and councilman
of city are not barred, they being simply
local officials who are not mentioned in the
constitution. The board of freeholders, or
the county legislature, is an older institu-
tion than the one that annually sits at
Trenton, and for at least forty years men,
bership in the two bodies at the same time
has been constant occurrence. The Sen
ator from our county, William Newell, is
member of the Board of Freeholders and
would be affected in the event of differ
ent settlement of this question.

ure.

The largest and best attended meeting
of the Camden County Board of Agricult-
ure in its history was held at the Court
House at Camden on Tuesday. The re-
ports from the townships showed that the
board was getting actively at work in the
right direction. The papers on the grape
for West Jersey, injurious insects and
cereals, were well written, and elected in
teresting discussions which brought out
additional information. The milk law
question resulted in a series of resolutions
referring the grievance to the Legislature
and the State Board of Agriculture. The
hay and straw question developed desire
to increase the efficiency of our hay market,
and committee of three was appointed
to confer with the Burlington County
Board of Agriculture to secure unity of
action. The officers elected for the ensu-
ing year are President, Van Buren, Griffin
Vice-P President, Hon. Joel Horner; Treas
urer. J. Stokes Coles Secretary George
T. Haines Directors, Amos E. Kaighn,

sheep, Goats and wolves.

Rev. G. B. Ogden, of Roadstown, has
obtained quite reputation on account of
the chalk services which he gives in such
an entertaining manner He delivered one
of these illustrated sermons in his church
last Sunday evening, taking as a text '.The
Lord is my Shepherd, and having for his
theme 'ssheep, goats and wolves The
first illustration was representation of
one of the ancient sheep cotes of Palestine,
surrounded by huge stone wall with the
gate in one corner where the sheep might
go in and out and find pasture. The other
pictures were wolf, goat. and sheep
with an innocent little lamb nestled by her
side. The wolf was represented to be the
enemy of mankind who does his destruct-
i've work in various ways, as in the horse
race, in carousing, in card playing, in
gambling, and in other ways by means of
which men are brought down to degrada-
ton and ruin. But the old wolf was more
particularly portrayed in the rum-seller
and his seductive business. This especial
wolf is certainly one to be watched for and
guarded against. The speaker said that
we are all born into the world as lambs
and we may, under proper influence and
correct training, grow up into good sheep,
the animal embematic of piety and gen
tleness. But if we are brought in contact
with the evils of the world and mingle
with its evil company, the pure, white
fleece of the lamo will begin to straighten
on account of the weight of sin and will
become matted and tangled as we go on.
Horns, the sign Of defiance, will soon be
cropping out of our head, the long, shag
gy beard, which is bedraggled in the blood
of its victims, will commence to grow and
the once innocent lamb is metamorphosed
into goat, such as will be found on the
left hand in the last day. Then it was
shown that even the goat might be washed
in the fountain and have his tangled, sim
full hair purified, and might once more OBJ
tain the pure, white fleece of the gospel of
peace, and once more be changed into a
sheep, and permitted to come back into
the sheep-cote. Christ was represented as
the door of the sheepfold and the tender
shepherd who cares for the sheep. Mr..
Ogden delivered on Wednesday night his
illustrated lecture on "Trip to the White
Mountains" He is certainly gifted on
this line and is an adept in the use of the
chalk to illustrate his sermons and lectures.

he entered the room one saw clearly how

his personality. He is short man, rather
stoutly built, with brown hair, brown

quiet looking almost to commonplaceness.
His mother was an English woman, his
aunt is living at Lewes, England. de
wore the ordinary French civilians dress
of black frock coat and trousers, with
only the single red spot in his button
hole. In manners Gen. Boulanger IS not
more striking than in appearance. lie
speaks slowly, like most soldiers, but
without gesture and without much force
either of voice or language. Gen. Bou-
LANCER has fought his way from grade to

An Important Review.

The Great British naval review will be
held at Spithead in the presence of
Queen Victoria on July 30, and will be
Immediately followed by the maneuvers.
Nearly thirty iron-clads, fifteen or twenty
large cruisers, sixty gun boats and eighty
torpedo boats are expected TO take part
in the review After the review, this
force will split up into two portions.
One portion, consisting of about one
thild Of the strength of the whole, will
be detached and will proceed southwards,
possibly as far as a Spanish port. The
other portion, will then be distributed
along the south coasts of England, Ire
land and in the channel. This force will
include all the torpedo boats, and all the
coast defense vessels. After a lapse of
few days, period of imaginary warfare
will follow. One officer, ignorant of
what during his absence may have been
done to Illustrate him, will come from the
southwark as the enemy; and, aided by a
squadron, of fast cruisers, will endeavor
to do one or all of the following things,
namely: l. Hoodwink the defense, and
gain an entrance to the Irish Sea, 2.
Enter the channel unobseryed, and so
make his way eastwards until, having
made the Downs, he will be supposed to
